Ahmadinejad Lashes Out at West, Liberalism | ||
2005-08-22 | ||
Iranâs hard-line President Mahmood Ahmadinejad put his proposed Cabinet to Parliament yesterday, lashing out at the West and liberalism and promising a government that will âpromote virtue and prohibit vice.â
It was a clear reference to threats against Iran in the wake of Tehranâs decision to resume sensitive nuclear work earlier this month. The clerical regime has refused to return to a full freeze of nuclear fuel work - the focus of fears the country is seeking atomic weapons. Ahmadinejad also vowed a more assertive trade policy. âCurrently we are importing from some countries billions of dollars whereas they are not buying our oil and they are also not buying our products,â he said in a speech one MP described as âmore about ideals than strategiesâ. âThese countries should be thankful to us because we are helping their economic boom, but they are not thankful and are looking at us as if we were indebted to them,â the 49-year-old former commando told the conservative-controlled assembly.

#4 And in the same breath he pledges to keep them in the dark ages. Rule over them with a heavy hand, and oppress the living shit out of every man, woman, and child. Now lets have a round of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" chants. You shall chant or you will be stabbed in the head. Oh, yeah, you have to like it too. Que the applause- |

#3 This guy is pulling a hat trick. -He is making the Euros look stupid for their weenie negotiations. -He is showing the Persian people that he is a total minion of the ruling Ayatollahs. -He is ticking off Arabs (the crap about not buying our stuff was aimed at them). |

#1 âThe international community they go so far as to condemn us. What sort of balance is this? This is injustice and oppression, and our nation will not accept this in international affairs,â Perhaps one should really set them off, and refuse Ahmadinejad entry so that he cannot vist the UN... |
